Thanks for coming to my site. I'm a Boston-based fiction and non-fiction writer. I specialize in Great-American-Gay-Catholic-Irish-New-England romantic writing. What that is, I haven't fully decided. But I've put a few sample stories on here so you can see how it's turned out so far.

I am pleased to announce that Arcade Publishing has agreed to publish my latest book, "Since My Last Confession." Confession is a love-hate, reverent-irreverent Michael-Moore-style memoir on the contemporary Catholic experience. PRE-ORDER NOW ON AMAZON!  Or, you can read more about it here, or -- if you are feeling especially guilty -- simply go straight to this site and confess your sins. Many creative penances available!

In other news, a new Romentics novel is on the way called E-male. It will be published by Palari Books and is scheduled to appear in June 2008.

As might already be apparent, my work varies from literary to popular, from short stories to novels, from romance to erotica and back again. There are plenty of pop-up windows and links through which you can sample the various genres -- be sure to check out various short story links. There are also links to Amazon, where you can buy the anthologies and novels in which my work has appeared.

Speaking of anthologies, here's an excerpt from the Publishers' Weekly review of Fresh Men: New Gay Voices:

"The best discoveries include Scott Pomfret's 'Chicken,' a moving portrait of the tense intimacy between an aging gay man and a teenage hitchhiker with 'runaway eyes.'"

The Lambda Book Report had this to say in its review of "Fresh Men":

"'Chicken,' by Scott D. Pomfret, is an excellent example of where Fresh Men succeeds in offering a truly brilliant new take on an exhausted theme. An older man is drawn in by a younger man. A boy, really. A beautiful 15-year-old boy on the side of a rural road that should have been bypassed. The man shouldn’t stop but he does. The boy shouldn’t get in but he does. You don’t want what you think is going to happen to actually happen but not enough to stop turning the pages. It is a disturbing, well-paced trek into an adolescent forest where old growth takes, not gives, light. Every paragraph brings a cringe, but are you wincing because of a crime or because you understand? Excellent."

You can buy Fresh Men and other books I have written or anthologies to which I have contributed by clicking on Scott's Books ... or you could get Curveball, which is my new contribution to the Amazon.com "Shorts" program, in which you can download short stories for 49 cents just like you can download songs for your iPod. Curveball is a tale about diddling priests, stunted limbs, the ball between Buckner's legs, Reverse the Curse, and Sweet Revenge.
